Abstract excerpt
The effect of p53-deficiency on somatic mutation of minisatellites in normal tissues was examined using p53-deficient (-/-) mice. In total, 248 mice consisting of three different genotypes, +/+, +/ -and -/-, were obtained and DNA from their embryos was probed with two minisatellites, Pc-1 and Pc-2. The somatic mutation was detected by Southern blot hybridization as the presence of a third nonparental band...
